Description
This is probably the 5th iteration of my home theater space since I first built it out in early 2021. Started off with entry level speakers and have worked my way up to what may very well be end game speakers for me. Lots of lessons learned over the past few years. Thanks to Todd, et al, at AV NIRVANA, have learned a lot. The room is approximately 22' x 13'. I stripped the room down to the bare concrete floor and open ceiling. Ceiling was insulated well after I mounted and wired the four ATMOS in ceiling speakers and the surround back speakers (gear details below). The equipment rack is made from Cedar planks I sourced locally and is a nod to my late wife who loved cedar. During the build of that rack, I found I didn't need the top shelf of the front section, so that became a live edge shelf to the right of the TV for pictures. For seating, I chose Valencia Tuscany XL in a 3-chair configuration. They have a little extra room over the normal Tuscany chairs and are, like all the Valencia's, very comfortable.
